Can it be called thrifting if you spend $209.45?
I dunno....
Perhaps not.
Depends on what was bought.
And for what it is intended.
My hypothesis is, that the more ugly and irrelevant
your find is, the more creative and crafty you have to be.
Which does not work in my favor.
I'm hypothesizing against myself.
We set off 'thrifting' yesterday, with the intention to find
objects with which to make shell art.
We found the mother load.
Books - 99¢ for five
VHS tapes, 2/75¢
Shells 49¢ each

This will be used to organize my entry way,
for the three millionth time.
Storage for little shoes, mittens, gloves, papers,
gum wrappers, legos, broken toy parts, leaves
and other assorted crap
piled on the floor.
Now I'm on the trail of a vintage knob

Big plans are in store for the other things,
